Breaking News!! Star Wars Line members are not nerds!

OK Stop the presses! New shit has come to light, man.

Local blogger Emmanuelle went down to the line and talked to a line member named Eliott (pictured) who explained, on tape and while dressed as a Jedi, that the internet is nothing but trouble, that he is in fact not a nerd, has a normal social life which includes things such as Rocky Horror Picture Show viewings, and then goes on to show off his hand made combat-ready light saber and asks a Yoda doll if it is excited about Episode III. I’m dead serious and here’s the 3.8MB MP3 file so you can listen for yourself. This is one of the best things I’ve ever heard in my entire life. Ever. Thanks Emmanuelle!

(I should note here that bloggers, myself included, are some of the biggest nerds around right now, even without customized props or talking toys.)

Thanks Sean! I should mention that Eliott was very sweet and that I was the first to try to talk to the Yoda doll, hoping to hear his philosophy of life. Sadly, the doll would only answer “yes” or “no”, despite Eliott’s numerous attempts.

Of course! No disrespect to Elliot intended. I wish I had the stones to wear a jedi costume and make light sabers and say I wasn’t a nerd. I can’t even make stupid posts on the internets without just admitting it outright.

His costume looked awfully warm but Eliott didn’t complain. Talking of nerds, I was the one dressed up as a villager at those Prisoner conventions and going to school in a black and white jacket like Patrick McGoohan with a “number 6” badge. So again, I’m with them!

In a way, I wish I could have fun with fellow fans at a giant themed slumber party in the heart of Hollywood. But for Star Wars? And for 5 weeks? Hum… not really.
